The Center for Transformative Teaching will host Designing Courses in the Age of AI: A Backward Design Approach on Jan. 14 from 1-4 p.m. via Zoom. Registration is available online.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape education, educators face the challenge of integrating AI into curricula. This workshop combines backward course design principles with innovative strategies for AI integration to address this need.
Participants will learn to define course goals that highlight distinctive human skills like critical analysis and ethical reasoning, develop measurable learning objectives that balance traditional knowledge mastery with AI literacy, and brainstorm assessments that incorporate AI to enrich the learning process while preserving human creativity. By reimagining Bloom’s Taxonomy through the lens of AI's capabilities, the workshop guides educators in aligning learning experiences, assessments, and objectives to harness AI's potential effectively.
Whether you aim to integrate, limit, or guide AI use in your courses, this session offers practical strategies and collaborative opportunities to thoughtfully adapt your curriculum. Join CTT to develop actionable frameworks that prepare your students for an AI-enhanced world, ensuring your students gain both technological proficiency and the irreplaceable human skills essential for the future.
The three-hour session includes a significant amount of time to design and redesign a course. Instructors can come prepared with a course in mind to work on during the workshop.
